As I agree about the fact that the engine is WebKit for any browser, that was not the point you made, I did not spread misinformation.
My claim is still true, you can choose your default browser, however you cannot choose a browser with an engine other than WebKit
I’ve just looked up to this and found safari web extension so there is definitely plugin for safari on iOS and MacOS
You can even convert manifest v2 extension to safari extension so I guess the scope of extensions should be similar.
However it look like a pain in the ass to make as it look like each extension need a dedicated app installed.
You can look up tampermonkey website and see that plugins do exist.
Moreover you can do quite cool thing with the shortcut app like enable PIP (and keep video playing when the phone is locked) on YouTube without YouTube premium by executing JavaScript directly on YT
Extension for safari seem to exist since 2010 with safari 5
Android is open source. Apple’s stuff is not. Privacy and closed source can not be in the same sentence.
You can at least customize Android to get rid of offending stuff. You can’t even pick your web browser on Apple.
You can pick your web browser on apple devices, nice uninformed claim.

Not really though you have to use their rendering engine.
Apple does not allow for any real difference in browsers: https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/07/mozilla_google_apple_webkit/ You have to use apple’s WebKit engine. It’s essentially Safari with a slightly modfied skin.
Stop spreading misinformation.

FYI, WebKit is open source.
You also can’t have plugins. It’s very limited and a shit policy. Apple should get broken up just for this.
